Not thrilled...but Nolan IS better than Sanders.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

Meh. That article really doesn't say anything we didn't already know. It will likely be Nolan and if not Nolan then it will likely be Moss. Unless Moss goes to St. L in which case it would likely be Nolan."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

Funny!
Would the Packers trade Kampman? Unlikely, but Nolan could be in for a challenge making him fit. Jenkins should be an easier fit than Kampman.
Then again, all of this means nothing if Nolan is flexible and is sticking with the 4-3. He could probably work blindfolded and call a more effective defense than Sanders did."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

I was doing a google search for Mike Nolan and found this on another forum:
It was posted on December 23rd. Sounds like Gerry Ellis knows what he's talking about.
I don't have a link, but on ESPN radio they had former Packer packer RB Gary Ellis on. He said that it is widely known in the media that Bob Sanders isn't MM's type of D coordinator, and then he mentioned that he thinks Mike Nolan will be the replacement."There's a lot of interest in the draft.

Guess I'd rather see Moss than Nolan.
I think going to a 3-4 will set this team back. Makes one of their best players, Kampman, by most accounts unfittatable in this scheme.

I was a fan of Greg Williams. He runs a 4-3 pressure defense. If we choose Nolan then so be it. We do have a good 5-10 years ahead of us with good QB play. We have time to get the defense in order and make the run.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

In San Francisco, Nolan's base defense was a sort 4-2-5 "Big Nickel" package that was designed to "prevent the big play" but was bad at creating pressure. I don't like it.Originally posted by Fritz</delurk>Comment

Me too, but I'm indifferent on Nolan and I'll give him a shot. I'm intrigued about the thought of going to a 3-4."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

3-4 would be interesting but only a coupel teams run it well and the rest are bottom of the barrel scrubs. Are we more likely to be the NE/Pitt/Balt or the Cle/SF?
My bet is that we suck ass with it.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

I like the 4-3 defense better. I'm a big fan of the Osi/Strahan/Kampman type player. They're too big to play OLB in a 3-4, but small enough to out quick OT's and powerfull enough to mix it up. I also like having the extra big body inside.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Sounds like something Bob Sanders would run!Originally posted by Lurker64
Just say no to nolan!"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

My guess is MM requires Nolan to run the 4-3 scheme due to personnel.
Once personnel is assessed along with draft pics I bet more wrinkles are added. Nolan is experienced. Lets have faith the schemes and play calling reflects the experience and defensive talent.Comment

Boy if so why did the Packers give up so many damn big plays..Originally posted by Fritz
I like the Nolan pick In SF he ran formations out of both the 3-4 and 4-3. I think this was a safe pick nothing flashy but someone with 11 yrs of experience and sucess MM needed someone like this.
MM made a bad decision on hiring Sanders it was a knee jerk reaction when Bates turned down the job.Comment
